The opposite of dreading the school fashion parade: dreading the school fleece brigade!

[Jewelsandgems]

My little girl has just started nursery and I thought it would be nice to get to know some other mums.

I wear fashionable clothes! And because of this, the only mums who talk to me are those very few others who also wear the same kind of clothes. The majority wear bootcut jeans and fleeces. Now I have nothing against fleeces and jeans, and when the weather is rubbish you will find me in the same things!

Does anyone else have this? Honastly, I wore my rain hat the other day and I swear a few of the mums sneered at me. Should I just have turned up with sopping wet hair?!!

I am totally considereding addapting a fleecy look just to get to know some other mums I have tried smiling and saying hello, but no response.

well i hope she keeps on wearing her funky Boden hat just wish i was in the same school as Jewlsandgems id talk to her you cant miss me in my Boden Magenta rainy day jacketIMO

I walk the dog twice a day (at least), the first time is straight after school drop off, and the second is immediately before school finishes. Depending on the weather I'm clad in fleece, gortex & walking boots or wellies

I wouldn't actually recognise Boden. That hat looked like one beardy fishermen wear

I'm wearing a (micro)fleece right now!

I'm in a fluffy dressing gown and old saggy PJ's. But then I wouldn't wear those to the school

I like the rain hat
would but one but I have a very large head so hats nver fit me
I find these threads so depressing that people jusdge each other so much by their clothes.
I like clothes and wear what I lik for me.Sometimes smart , somtimes scruffy, but it would never enter my head to wear or not wear something because of what the other Mummms at the school might think,,

What is everyone wearing now? I am wearing a boiler suit.

Long t-shirt, leggings, cardi and slippers

I am wearing a flamenco dress and flippers.

excellent!

I have the magenta Boden jacket too bodenista!
There is another mum at the school who has one and we always have a secret smile when we wear them at the same time.

That was meant for bodenites...I am very confused.

Boden mini skirt (lipstick check), Gap maroon long-sleeved t, Fat Face v-neck hoodie. Very knackered flip flops cos my feet are swollen. No knicks

I love the expression "some right knobbers"

hf, I am wearing rather sad red tartan flannel PJs! Tres sexy.

I stopped caring what other people thought of the way I dressed years back and it was a weight off my back. Despite threads like these, I'm doing my best not to feel intimidated by all the pre-school gate gatherings that the future holds! Clothes are sufficient to the evil thereof. So to pick up my son, I would wear something that doesn't matter when he smears me with his post-school snack, not something I'd have to fend him off of. And yes, I do tend to look at bit at someone who's made too much effort to dress for something mundane, like the supermarket. Why are they bothering so much?

I will keep wearing my rain hat - mostly because it does keep my hair dry and when you have two little ones, time to sit and dry my hair properly is an indulgance, and not one I get to do every day (so I lke my hair to be kept dry)

Am just gonna carry on as I normally so and just wear what I want to.

P.S was thinking about getting that red patent jacket from boden - aah but it wouldn't match my hat. Bugger.

I am sure I will cope and continue to talk to the mums who talk to me, maybe in time a few others will join the conversation and then I will be knobgobbling with the rest of them (though I do hope not)

Bootcut jeans are wrong

Why does it matter to you if people are dressed up in the supermarket MamaGoblin?

They may have been at work all day or are heading out to socialise afterwards.

Why the ?

Why are bootcut jeans wrong? Do we all have to be size zeros squeezing into skinny jeans now?

If someone judges me on what I wear then they are not a person I wish to get to know, so I'm pleased they stay away.

'Gap maroon long-sleeved t, Fat Face v-neck hoodie. '

See, this is a thing I've noticed in the last year or so. Its no longer possible to say 'I'm wearing a t-shirt' but you have to name where it came from.
Why is this?
Can people actually tell?
I cant remember where my clothes come from.

BerylCole - WHY are boot cut jeans wrong? What jeans are 'right'? And who decided that?

Bootcut jeans are very flattering on those who are not skinny minis. For that reason I suspect that although die-hard fashionistas may think they are 'wrong' many of us will still wear them.

I have just bought a mucho reducto Barbour HAT which is made from waxed stuff.

It is GORgeous.

Here you go. I am going to snort a lot while I am wearing it.

that flower needs to come off

although id say get a hood fgs

i prefer htis one
